V70 Suspension: - V70R manual headlight adjustment??

Dijon · Nov 9th, 2015, 17:03

I'm sure that this has been done to death, but is there a way of disabling the link between the chassis / suspension sensors and the headlights?
My 2003 V70R has been happily driving around on the Sport setting for a year now, and that causes me no problem at all. I have actually had new suspension all round, but yet again the fault reader comes up with the seemingly standard out of tolerance message, and I'm told that I need more new parts - bit I've been here before - that's why I've got new suspension!
The only problem that I have is that the default position of the headlights in this scenario is 10 feet in front of the bumper. Fortunately I rarely have to drive any distance at night, but this headlight situation is ridiculous.
I know that this appears to be an increasingly common issue (hardly surprising with those linkages under the car), and so I thought that there might be a "fix" already worked out that would allow me to adjust the headlights manually without interference from electronic systems.
Any pointers or ideas?
